Ken Curtis and the Sons of The Pioneers - Down By The Glenside (The Bold Fenian Men)

This is a wonderful bit of music. An Irish rebel song written around 1916 by Peador Kearney. This clip is from the 1950 movie "Rio Grande" which starred John Wayne and Mayreen O'Hara.

I heard that Ken Curtis(Festus Hagen) started out as a singer, but didn't really know how good a singer he was until I seen this. He looks a lot different here than in Gunsmoke.

@wojack1000 He was very good. Of course he had to be to get so many parts in John Wayne movies. Thanks for watching. Charlie

Loved this film. It was something that Ford had to do, just to getting funding for another film. But, man, did he come up with a good film. Wayne and O' Hara made a great team. The rest of the cast was top notch. Very professionally done.

Getting parts in John Wayne's movies was based on his talent, but it didn't hurt that he was the Director John Ford's son-in-law.
